In highveld areas the frost season runs from the end of May to the end of September, although with climate change one never knows what to expect.
Protect taller plants by placing tall sticks or poles around the plant and wrapping the frost cloth around the sticks. The top can be left open but the frost cloth at the top should be higher than the plant. This protection can be left throughout winter as long as the leaves receive enough sun. The best time to water is during the warmest part of the day, around mid-morning. Ease up on watering if a cold front is predicted.Strengthen seedlings to resist the cold by using a liquid fertiliser. Foliar feeds improve resistance to cold and plant tonics strengthen the leaves.
